Engelhardstraße, Berlin by SounderBruce, on Flickr

The caption translates "flight pioneer".  See here: http://www.earlyaviators.com/eengpaul.htm


Yes, I do know that he was an aviation pioneer, given how easy the word is to translate to English. The entire neighborhood was named after aviation-related things (e.g. Pilotenstrasse).

GCrites

Crites Rd. in Circleville Ohio was named after my grandfather and Crites Dr. in South Bloomfield Ohio was named after my dad's half-brother. A friend of mine with the last name Dreasbach says he saw a sign indicating a Crites-Dresbach Rd. somewhere in southeast Pickaway County (also Ohio) while out on his motorcycle but I can't find it on any internet mapping.
